Worked on the KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers repository to enhance reliability and validation for Vulkan’s Opacity Micromap (OMM) feature. Delivered targeted improvements by implementing stateless validation logic and expanding both positive and negative test coverage, using C++ for validation and Python scripting for test automation and build processes. Addressed a cross-platform tooling issue by fixing Windows clang-format detection in the source generation script, which eliminated false warnings and improved formatting consistency. The work strengthened OMM validation coverage, improved CI/CD reliability, and reduced maintenance overhead, demonstrating a methodical approach to low-level graphics validation, scripting, and collaborative test design within the Vulkan ecosystem.
